Today's classy look is brought to you by Gianni. The polo and coat are from Hallensteins while the boots were purchased from Hannah's. Chinos from Huffer and the scarf is from Barkers and Gianni likes to think that paired with the coat it adds an air of maturity and trustworthiness you would not normally receive from a teenage boy. The boots are very comfortable and for only $100 they are definitley a bargain, although the set back is that we can only find them in brown, so unfortunately if you like wearing bright block colours they may not be for you. We encourage trying baggy jeans with the boots as well.
Polo shirts are often tricky to make popular, as many New Zealand boys wear them as school uniform and never want to see another polo again after getting home from school. Despite this we urge people to wear polos, as they add the formality of a collar which you get from a button up shirt while retaining the comfort of a t-shirt. A great choice for people going out for a night on the town, where collared shirts are a must but collared shirts are often too thin and cold.
Giacomo was reading (and we have no idea how he found it) an article in Vogue magazine about the fashion trends set to come back for the winter of 2015/2016 in the U.S.A. The most prominent trend he found was that big coats such as the one Gianni is wearing will be a staple piece of a fashionable man's wardrobe next winter. Unfortunately we live in New Zealand and at this very moment we are going into our winter, so our choices are to either launch ourselves into these trends early and pretend we are original with our fashion style, or else to wait until next year to imitate this trend. We have opted for the first option, as a coat is a great way of looking stylish and classy while still keeping warm and relatively dry when the winter weather sets in. Hallensteins (I know, we are a bit obsessed) is doing some great deals on coats at the moment if you would rather not pay the astronomical prices the designer brands charge. Topshop (which recently opened in Auckland) also has some nice coats and jackets if you don't mind paying slightly more.
